Glasses designed by architects.

Wednesday, 29 July 2009
建築家がデザインしためがね。
Japan's top 11 architects designed glasses collaborating with Jin's Global Standard, a Japanese eyewear brand. They are all really cool designs and here are about half of them I picked out of eleven.
The top two are my favourites, the first one "Doodle" was designed by Sosuke Fujimoto, and the second by Kumiko Inui, "glasses that are unique and anonymous".

"Macarons" by Jun Aoki.

"Kurobuchi Megane (Black frame glasses)" by Junya Ishigami.
"Freehand Glasses" by Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA.
And last but not least, "Beige Glasses" by Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA.


You can see all of the eleven designs here.
Which one is your favourite?
